TdF and recumbents

There is no recumbent that is 20% faster than an upright on the flats

Now _that's_ mixing apples and oranges.

What is the _unfaired_ recumbent hour record?

Who cares? The above point was "no recumbent", no distinction about
fairings or otherwise, simply *no* recumbent and a flat course
specified. And of course faired uprights are welcome to take part in
IHPVA records but nobody sees much point. I guess because they're not
so quick...
